Revision as of 09:47, 28 October 2012

Santiago is a member of the Volturi guard, and one of few members who does not possess a supernatural capability. His only useful skills come from his superior physical strength.

Breaking Dawn

Bd2-jacob-renesmee-santiago

Santiago chasing Renesmee and Jacob.

In Breaking Dawn, when the vampire Irina reports to the Volturi about an immortal child being created by the Cullen family, the entire coven travels to Forks to destroy them. Therefore there is no doubt that Santiago is among them during the confrontation. Throughout the entire confrontation, he remains in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity to take offense, like the rest of his coven. After the situation was resolved peacefully, he retreats to Volterra with the coven.

In the most recent trailer of Breaking Dawn - Part 2, he is seen escorting Irina to the Volturi leaders' chamber, and later chasing Renesmee and Jacob across the forest, quickly catching up to them.[1]

Physical appearance

Other than that he was brawny and huge-looking, Santiago's physique was never fully described in the books. In the movie, however, he displays a bulky body shape with dark-colored skin, and black dreadlocks that run down to his neck. Since he drinks human blood for a living, his eyes exert the traditional red color of human-feeding vampires.

He wears the traditional black and gray outfit of the Volturi's guards. He also has pierced ears.
